Practice questions written by Radif Partners from the official outline topics. They are not questions from the real exam. Progress is kept in this browser only (local storage) and never sent.
This mock reproduces the shape of the real Series 7: 125 scored questions, drawn so that each job function of the outline gets exactly its official number, 9 for F1, 11 for F2, 91 for F3, 14 for F4, then shuffled. The real exam adds 5 unscored pretest questions and gives 225 minutes for the 130; the mock leaves out the unscored items and scales the clock to the scored ones, which keeps the same time per question. At the end you get your score, a breakdown by function and every missed question with its explanation. FINRA reports a scaled score, 72 to pass, after equating the different forms of the exam, and publishes no table from correct answers to scaled score. The mock therefore compares your share of correct answers with 72%, that is 90 of 125, and labels that line an approximation: aim well above it rather than at it. Every draw is reproducible from the link, and your misses are kept in your browser for the review page.

The unscored pretest questions look like the others and are spread through the exam, so the pace counts them too.

What the mock draws
| Function | Questions in the mock | Share |
|---|---|---|
| F1. Seeking business | 9 | 7% |
| F2. Opening accounts | 11 | 9% |
| F3. Investments and recommendations | 91 | 73% |
| F4. Orders and transactions | 14 | 11% |
The draw takes the questions of each function from our pool, which includes questions shared with the SIE and the Series 6 where the topic is the same. A new draw gives a new mix; the link in the address bar replays the current one, so you can retake the same mock later to see whether the misses are fixed.
Sitting it like the real thing
- Choose corrections at the end, the setting closest to the real exam.
- Use only a basic calculator and paper, the way the test center provides a four-function calculator and note boards.
- No pauses: on the day, breaks do not stop the clock.
- Check your pace at a few fixed points with the calculator under the citable block.
The exam day page lists the rest of the test center rules.
Reading the result
The overall score
Compare it with 90 of 125, the line the mock uses, and look at the margin rather than the verdict. A score just above the line on a single mock is fragile. A score several points above it on several fresh mocks is what you want before booking.
The score by function
The breakdown shows where the points went. A weak result in the third function, with its 91 questions, outweighs anything else; go back to the investments and recommendations practice first. A weak result in a small function is quicker to fix, often with one evening on its rules.
After the mock
Go through every missed question listed under the test, then open the review page, which serves them again in a new order until they are right. Space the next mock a few days later so that it measures learning rather than memory of the draw. When the results hold, the passing score page explains the margin worth having, and the study planner helps fix the date to book.
Managing the clock on a long exam
At 130 questions in 225 minutes, the average is a little over a minute and a half per question, but the time is not spread evenly. Definitions and rules take seconds; options combinations, margin accounts and yield problems take two or three minutes each. A practical method is to answer every question on the first pass, marking the long calculations to come back to, so that no easy points are lost at the end. The pacing calculator shows how much time should remain after a given number of questions; check it at the end of each quarter rather than after every question, to keep your attention on the content.
Fatigue is the other enemy. Scores often drop in the last forty questions of a first mock, which is a reason to take several mocks at full length rather than shorter partial ones.
